My shotgun turkey

Today was Nebraska's opening day of shotgun. I was bummed that I had to work today but planned on going out this evening to put some to bed, then hunt hard tomorrow.
When I arrived, two toms and about six hens were feeding out in an alfalfa field. After a quick plan of attack was put in place, I snuck in from the back side of a shelterbelt, stepped out, and BOOM !!! Shotgun tag filled.
I've shot my share of turkeys with muzzleloader shotguns, but this year I thought it would be fun to use my old side by side with some vintage paper shells. Those old number four's still pack a punch.

You never cease to amaze me with your hunting lifestyle. Congrats on a great hunt...still able to hunt with the bow?
 
Old Side by Side=priceless

"Antique" paper shells=priceless

Turkey harvest=priceless

Nebraska turkey license= $20?

Putting a little different spin on things are we, Shovel?

Thanks for the kind words everyone. After going through the photos I found this one that I missed last night. I think it's a bit better.
